"Red potatoes (with the skin left on) serve as a colorful base for the salad. Kewpie mayonnaise, which is made with ingredients like egg yolks, vinegar, and sugar, adds a little more complexity than your average mayo. It's not just creamy but also tangy, eggy, and a little sweet, perfect for a packing quite a bit of flavor into a minimalistic dish. Finally, fresh chives offer a compromise between oniony, garlicky, and herby flavors, and add a nice pop of color to finish the dish."

"While this three-ingredient potato salad gets the job done with minimal inclusions, there's always room to build on the recipe if you do happen to have other ingredients on hand. Hard-boiled eggs, cut into bite sized pieces, add richness, flavor, creaminess, and protein. Celery adds crunch to complement the tender potatoes, and onion adds a strong depth of flavor. Mixing in some pickle relish with the mayonnaise makes it sweeter, while a little yellow mustard contributes tang and sharpness."
